Furries

Furries are a group of people who identify themselves not as being human but as a walking, sometimes talking animal. For some the lifestyle is complete, animal traits reach into every aspect of life from mundane trips to a grocery store to sexual fantasies. For others, involvement in the furry fandom is limited to public performances and meet-and-greets. The group I photographed in the greater New York area was composed of people who were just joining the fandom to those who had been involved for more than 20 years.
